New York Times-bestselling author Ruth Ware‘s upcoming mystery thriller, The It Girl, has featured in a BookBrunch article of their reviewers’ current reads.

In the article, in which the BookBrunch team reveals what’s on their bedside tables, Lucy Nathan writes:

“I wait eagerly for the new Ruth Ware book every year, and The It Girl was absolutely worth it.

Published by S&S on 4 August, it follows Hannah, whose best friend April was murdered during their time at Oxford, and whose testimony may have put an innocent man in prison. She sets out to discover the truth behind April’s death, much to the dismay of her husband, who was April’s boyfriend at the time of her death.

This book is structured impeccably, and it was so easy to enjoy – the setting is lush and brilliantly described, the group of characters feels lifelike and is extremely easy to get to know, and Ware lays down red herrings and clues that make the ending that delicious combination of a surprise and the only way it could have gone.”

The It Girl will be released in the US on 12th July and in the UK on 4th August. You can pre-order your US copy here, and your UK copy here.
